The Ad Strategy

Of course, we ran the ads on Facebook. Here’s Exactly what we did… From the first stage to the last. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐎𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
When creating your ad with the facebook business manager, the ad creation process is split into three.

1. The Campaign,
2. The Ad Set and
3. The Ad.

The Campaign level is where you select the objective of your ad, (which is what you aim to achieve with your advert.)

The three main objectives are:
1. Awareness
2. Consideration
3. Conversion

For our Campaign, we selected “𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬” as our objective, which communicated to Facebook that we wanted them to show the ad to people who were most likely to make a buying decision. 

[Now, for the sake of this thread, let's assume we were selling a tea for neck pain. (assume oh... I don't know if that's even a thing, Biko)].

We also selected the “Create Split Test” option instead of “Campaign Budget Optimization.”

In the previous chapter, I talked about how we selected the “Create Split Tests” option and not “Campaign Budget Optimization.” 

We did this because we wanted to target different audiences based on interests to see which ones would generate the most reach and conversions.

Here’s a step by step guide on how we set up the split test. 

Step 1: Selecting The Conversion Destination
We selected "Website" to let Facebook know that we would be redirecting people out of Facebook.

And also by selecting “Purchase,” we instructed Facebook to collate the information of the people who land on our "thank you" page.

Step 2: Selecting What Variable to Test.

Because we were unsure of what target audience would convert more based on their interests, we decided to test 3 different audiences.

Step 3: Creating Ad Set A, B, and C

We created Three Ad-sets.

(𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐡... because this part, o critical ghan.) 

𝐀𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐀:
Location: Lagos, Ogun, Port Harcourt, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom, and Abuja.

Interest: Blank.
Age: 35 - 65+

Interest: (Insert interest based on your product type).

𝐀𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐂:
Location: Lagos, Ogun, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Akwa-Ibom, and Abuja.

Interest: Health & Wellness.

Age: 35 - 65+ 

Step 3: Selecting Placement

We decided to go with the good old “Automatic Placements.”

Why? Because it's wise to let facebook study the advert and place it in the best places and at the best times, based on their algorithm.

Step 4: Budget Optimization

This part is very straight forward. We spent $50 (which is the equivalent of about N18,250) daily for ten days.

Because we were running a split test, Facebook split our daily budget of $50 into three which amounted to was about $16 for each Ad set.

Because in this thread we are not selling the same product in the campaign being studied, a few terms will be modified in this chapter. But I will ensure to keep everything as similar to the initial campaign as possible.

Here's why this ad worked.
 

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲
Line 1: 😍Your Neck Can Be Pain-free Again😍

This line serves as the headline of the Ad. It is the first bit of text that the reader sees.It has captivating emojis and a straightforward promise that can hold the reader’s attention long enough to have them read the next line.

Line 2: It is what many Naija people have been craving. This line communicates different messages to different readers. To the person who has neck pain, the message is “Oh, so many Nigerians also have this problem, wow.” This thought keeps them interested enough to continue reading.

To a person who doesn’t have issues with their neck, the message is “Oh, so many Nigerians are having neck pain?” This thought triggers empathy in them, and even if they don’t continue reading the ad, they can share it to help their friends and family on facebook.

Lines 3 and 4: Being able to turn your neck in any direction without feeling any sharp pain. And being able to lay in your bed and place your head on your pillow without struggling with neck pain. 

These lines describe what your ideal client experiences. This line highlights the pain point of the reader and has them thinking “this person understands what I’m going through.”

Line 5: That's What many Pain Relief pills promise but don't deliver. This line also addresses the pain point of the reader as well as reassuring them that the solution you’re presenting will not disappoint them the way those other pills have.

Lines 6 and 7: Neck Pain Tea is all about helping people heal their neck pains quickly and relaxing the neck muscles. When you feel any Neck Pain, just take a cup of tea and leave the rest to Neck Pain Tea. These lines talk about the product and how it effectively gives instant relief from neck pains. 

Line 8: A pack of Neck Pain Tea Costs Just N14,500 and two packs cost just N22,000. This line tells the reader about the price of the product. It is where you’ll lose some of the readers who have neck pains. Because not everyone who sees your ad will be able to afford a tea that costs N14,500 and that’s not your fault.

Line 9: Every pack comes with a free Neck Brace and free shipping to all locations in Nigeria. Nigerians love free things. I think everyone loves free things.
Throwing something that also helps your ideal client solve their problem in for free is always a good idea to increase conversions.

Line 10: Click the link below to order for yours.

Although Facebook will also ask you to insert a link for your CTA button, it is always a good idea to leave the link in the ad copy. For some of your readers who do not know to click the button.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 It was something like this. The only difference is the product itself.

For our campaign, we used the “Shop Now” button as our call to action. We did this so users know that clicking the link was taking them directly to a place where they would be asked to commit to getting this product.
Time for the landing page.

We used a sign-up form as our landing page because... why not? 😂

When you're running a campaign that takes people directly from Facebook to a signup form, you need to be very deliberate about what you write in your signup form. Especially if you're a short form ad.

Our initial plan was to use google forms, but we couldn't get the form to redirect our customers to a thank you page where we wanted to tell them to expect our phone call and also ask us to text us on WhatsApp if they had any questions. Because of all we wanted to achieve with our signup form, we decided not to use a regular google form. We used a form by our CRM provider,

Questions: What is your name? What is your Phone Number? How many products would you like to buy? And What is your Email Address?

(@princeofecom taught me this)

Instead of just saying the stereotypical “your name,” “your Address,” and “your email address,” we ask them questions 

Dissecting The Redirection Process
After the customer clicks “Submit,” they will be shown this message:

This message shows when the submission is loading. It keeps your customer there long enough for to redirect them to your Thank You Page.

This pretty much explains itself. You can create a thank you page with your Wordpress or Blogspot website. Giving them our WhatsApp information helps us to warm up the prospects further… yes, they are still prospects even after filling your order form. 

In Nigeria, a person is not your customer until they have confirmed their order via phone call, text message or WhatsApp. Some would even say that they are not customers until they have made themselves available to receive their orders and paid you for it.
